Pakistan’s top separatist Syed Ali Shah Geelani died under house arrest in Srinagar
Marking an end of the era, Pakistan’s top separatist Syed Ali Shah Geelani, died in a bid to instigate the Kashmiri youth. He was the soul person who was responsible and was portrayed as the man who sacrificed most of his life in Indian jails for the right of Kashmiris to self-determination.
Disturbing peace in India, Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan, and his ministerial colleagues posted in great lengths about the death of Geelani and also posted video clips on Twitter of his anti-India speeches in order to exploit the situation.
The Pakistan government’s official Twitter account mentioned Geelani as a Kashmiri Hurriyat leader who emerged as the face of resistance against Indian atrocities in Kashmir. Geelani was 91-year-old and died at his home in Srinagar, where he was under house arrest for the better part of the last decade.
